Guess what? Today I saw, for the first time, the rings of Saturn! They were
very clear in my 22 x 100 binoculars. Definitely a gap between the round
planet and the oval rings. I have watched the planet for 40 years (well,
maybe not, I'm turning 43 this summer...) but I have never used equipment
powerful enough to let me see the rings.
I'm a happy amateur astronomer today! )))
